Coach Natalie
“I am so passionate about sharing the pursuit of strength & fitness with all, especially those who have previously been excluded from it. Gym spaces are notorious for being inaccessible and exclusionary especially to our BIPOC communities. It is our mission to change that. What continues to fuel me is witnessing the impact that strength creates in us all. I believe that movement is a form of resistance, empowerment, and community care. I want as many people to experience that as possible.”
Coach Gabi
“Building up the BIPOC community in strength is something that’s been on my heart for a long time & I feel like this is one of those special moments before something really takes off…. A lot of times humans glaze over these moments in the theme of hustling, and getting everything done, but I just want to take a step back and revel in the glory of all that is, and is to come with this incredible group of people. It feels real, and it feels GOOD. This is the kind of stuff that makes change long term, so I am eternally grateful for your trust in us, and my dream to make strength more accessible for everyone!!! We are doing big things in this community & it’s only going to get better from here, we can’t wait to continue growing it.”
